How you put videos on the site.

What can I upload?

Alright stop, collaborate, and listen. We want you to upload funny videos you've made. Of course they'll appear on your profile page, but if they're really good, we'll even promote them elsewhere on the site. So, make sure you title, tag and describe your videos well so that they'll show up more often in search results. Also, our file size limit is 100 MB. Anything larger simply won't fit.

But make sure you don't upload anything you don't own, such as copyrighted material. We will remove the video, though repeat offenders might have their membership revoked. Check our Terms of Use for specifics, but the skinny is do not even think about uploading anything wantonly violent, explicit, or depraved, such as porn or anything else we may deem objectionable. Mature content is fine by us, as long as you flag it as such. Again, check those Terms of Use if you're unsure.

How do I choose a file to upload?

In order for you to upload your video, we first need to locate it on your computer. So, when you press "Browse...," your system will launch a browse file window. Find the place on your desktop, documents, etc. where your video is, highlight it, and press "Open." That should do it.

What file formats do you accept?

We'll accept: .mov, .qt, .flv, .mpg, .mpeg, .avi, .mp4, .wmv, and .m4v. Also, our file size limit is 100 MB. Anything larger simply won't fit.

Uploaded video not showing up immediately?

Please understand that video files are large, and can take a while to upload. Plus, once they are uploaded, we then have to convert them to a format we can use. And depending on how many videos are before yours, you could be in for a wait. The "video is being converted" thumbnail is a visual cue on your Uploads page that your video has successfully uploaded. Be patient--your video is coming hot and fresh out of the internet oven soon!

Credits?

We're not just uploading videos anonymously here. Artists, advertisers and members can attach credits to their videos at any time. Just type away in the "Credits Text" field on your video's viewing page. Bold, italics and bullets are allowed, but there is a 3,500-character limit. You also can edit, save and delete credits at any time.

Where Did My Video Go?

Let us guess: you were trying to upload a video, the thumbnail read "Pending Video" or "Broken Video," and then just froze that way. That means your video failed to upload correctly or failed to properly encode. But not to worry: Our system automatically deletes those videos after two days. If you feel your video was incorrectly deleted, or if our system didn't delete it for you, simply contact us.
